1992–93 Utah Jazz season

NBA professional basketball team season


The 1992–93 NBA season was the Jazz's 19th season in the National Basketball Association, and 14th season in Salt Lake City, Utah.[1] During the off-season, the Jazz acquired Jay Humphries and Larry Krystkowiak from the Milwaukee Bucks.[2][3][4][5] Salt Lake City hosted the 1993 NBA All-Star Game at the Delta Center,[6] and their star players Karl Malone and John Stockton were both selected,[7][8] and were both named co-MVPs.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Malone and Stockton both continued to be among the best players in the NBA, as the Jazz won six of their first eight games on their way to a 24–10 start. However, they struggled down the stretch with a 6–8 record in February, including a five-game losing streak between February and March. The Jazz held a 33–18 record at the All-Star break,[15] but would play below .500 for the remainder of the season. During the final month of the regular season, the team signed free agent James Donaldson, who played in the final six games.[16][17][18] The Jazz finished third in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record.[19] They made their tenth consecutive trip to the playoffs.[20]
